I have never seen a Kent death warrant before and in terms
of significant Kentish documents I think it must be one of the scarcest. The
document would have been handed to the executioner and having discharged his
task he would have presumably torn it up and thrown it away.
I don’t think I have to be politically correct on this one,
as I don’t think there were any female executioners in eighteenth century Kent.
My day off today so off to Folkestone where the children can
shop, do what they do on the beach and I can get a view to paint with a pot of
Yorkshire tea, comfortable seat and the sun behind me.
Marrin’s bookshop where I bought a few books including a
manuscript for publication, the Fanit youf who will type this up, enhance the
photos and turn it into a local book which I will publish is. What? Rubbing
hands together with enthusiasm, a teenagers lot, oh well.
I decided that the death warrant was a bit expensive and as
it wasn’t a Fanit one didn’t buy it, wot about the black seal, ever seen the
like?
I wos in search of the Gormley’s as well, who wouldn’t be

Comments, since I started writing this blog in 2007 the way the internet works has changed a lot, comments and dialogue here were once viable in an open and anonymous sense. Now if you comment here I will only allow the comment if it seems to make sense and be related to what the post is about. I link the majority of my posts to the main local Facebook groups and to my Facebook account, “Michael Child” I guess the main Ramsgate Facebook group is We Love Ramsgate. For the most part the comments and dialogue related to the posts here goes on there. As for the rest of it, well this blog handles images better than Facebook, which is why I don’t post directly to my Facebook account, although if I take a lot of photos I am so lazy that I paste them directly from my camera card to my bookshop website and put a link on this blog.
